Oneness of God

How Quran tells the presence of God

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].

And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.

These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe? (QS: 45:3-6)

How Quran emphasizes greatly on Oneness of God

God has no like or equal “(QS, 42:11)

Say He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone. (QS112)

He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: NO SON HAS HE BEGOTTEN, NOR HAS HE A PARTNER IN HIS DOMINION; it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. (QS 25: 2)

How Quran clarifies polytheism & Trinity

And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (QS4:171)

And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.  I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness. If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (QS: 5 : 116 - 118)

Allah HAS NOT TAKEN ANY SON, NOR HAS THERE EVEN BEEN WITH HIM ANY DEITY. [If there had been/If there were many gods], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to OVERCOME OTHERS. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]. (QS 23:91)

Jesus himself in the Bible never said I AM GOD, in fact he said he's just a servant

Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. John 13:16

Who's the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn't it really the person who sits at the table? BUT I'M AMONG YOU AS A SERVANT. Luke 22:27

Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but HIS WHO SENT ME. John 7:16

I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will. John 5:30

Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD Mark 12:29

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (John 8:29)

Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 17:3

I KNEW THAT YOU ALWAYS HEAR ME I can do nothing on my own John 11:42

Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. Mark 10:18

"You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all (John 10:29)
# My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. (John 4:34)

The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him (John 8:29)

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. (John 11:41)

By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. (John 5:30)

While God of Old Testaments, repeatedly say I AM GOD

They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 39and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them (Jeremiah 32:38)

You shall be My people, And I will be your God.' (Jeremiah 30:22)

I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart. (Jeremiah 24:7)

But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (Jeremiah 31:33)

From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God. (Ezekiel 39:22)

# Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign LORD. (Ezekiel 34:30)

# There above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. (Genesis 28:13)

For I the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior (Isaiah 43:3, HCSB)

Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. (Exodus 3:6)

I am the God of your Fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look. (Acts 7:32)

 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. (Exodus 29:45)

Disturbing things if someone equalize Jesus with God of Old testament, since God of OT had killed and instructed to kill babies, children and women.

Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!"

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses

"Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you,"

Disturbing things if someone says Spirit as yet another God. A God tested another God to be tempted by satan?

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. (Matt. 4:1)


So it's up to you if you believe in One God, who are like no other
or
God that evolve into human,
God that can be killed by human,
God that can be tempted by devil
God that can ask help to another God
God that leads another god to be tempted by satan,
God that has alter-ego (a servant killed by men vs powerful god who had killed babies and girls)
and all that mental gymnastic of Trinity.

It's up to you if you prefer to :
reject all those clear, straightforward, unambiguous, multiple Jesus own words that he's just a servant
and
follow mental gymantics of Trinity, instead.

# O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them.

And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. [49:11]

# Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress - and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed to you, and our god and your god is one and the same; to Him we are submitters."

# [If there had been/If there were many gods], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to OVERCOME OTHERS. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]. (23:91)

Interesting Conversation Jesus with Allah

And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.

I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.

If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Al Maidah 5 : 116 - 118

And remember how Jesus words on the Bible?

Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. John 17:3

Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but HIS WHO SENT ME. John 7:16

I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will. John 5:30

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness. (Matthew 7:21-23)

What Next After Jesus Departure

It's obvious, Jesus was dispatched by God so that Israelis would be the firm believer of God's Law. Not to lessen it.


~ But I warn you unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven! Matthew 5:20

~ The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. Matthew 23:3

~ "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye--even your good eye--causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. Matthew 5:28

- If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5:30

~ If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26

~ In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not say good-bye to all his possessions cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:33

~So whoever sets aside one of the least of these commandments (Torah) and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom from heaven. But WHOEVER DOES THEM whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom from heaven Matthew 5:19 ~ You disobey God’s commands in order to obey what humans have taught. You are good at rejecting God’s commands so that you can follow your own teachings! Mark 7:8-15

~ Didn’t Moses command you to respect your father and mother? Didn’t he tell you to put to death all who curse their parents? But you let people get by without helping their parents .. And you ignore God’s commands in order to follow your own teaching. You do a lot of other things that are just as bad. Mark 7:10-13 -

~ But I warn you--unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven! Matthew 5:20


~ The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. Matthew 23:3

~ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a SWORD (Matthew 10:34)

~ I have come to set fire to the earth, and I only wish it were already burning (Luke 12:49)


~ Do you think I came to bring PEACE on earth? NO, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. (Luke 12:51)

But the question is what next after Jesus? For Jesus said

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". (John chapter 16 verse 7)


"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is  come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me". (John chapter 16 verse 7)

Regarding such question, well you can turn into Paul or The Church. But then Paul annulled Torah and Chruch invented Trinity

~ The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. Romans 7:10
~ Indeed, because it was weak and ineffective, the former commandment has been annulled  Hebrews 7:18
~ Because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law here is no transgression Romans 4:15
~ the Law has nothing to do with faith. Galatians 3:12

PS: Jesus said to obey the Command of God (not human) and do not practice lawlessness:

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. [the disobedient will be banned from heaven]

Many will say to Me in that day,  ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Paul who also speak of himself


~ With my whole heart I agree with the Law of God. But in every part of me I discover something fighting against my mind, and it makes me a prisoner of sin that controls everything I do. Romans 22-23

~ I know that my selfish desires won’t let me do anything that is good. Even when I want to do right, I cannot (Romans 7:18)

- Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy. (1 Corinthians 7:25)

- That which I am speaking, I am not speaking as the Lord would, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting. 2 Corinthians 11:17 

Church also invented Trinity, making concept

- Three Gods
- Reincarnating Gods
- God as a Human
- God as a dove
- God slain by human
- God interacting with another god

Things that never been taught by Abraham, Noah, Issac, David, and all the prophet before Jesus.

"PICTURE OF GOD" IN SISTINE CHAPEL

PS:

You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Exodus 20:4

"Picture of God" having circumcised

PS:

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19

Or there's Prophet Muhammad, who deliver the same message as Abraham, Noah, Issac, Jesus, and other prophet before him: The Oneness of God,

It's hard to imagine Paul / Church as the comforter

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” (John 14:18-23)

Jesus in the Quran:

And remember Jesus the son of Mary said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you confirming the Law (which came) before me and giving glad Tidings of an Apostle to come after me whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs they said "This is evident sorcery!" Surah 61: 6

The Oneness of God in Quran:

Say He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone. (Quran chapter 112)

He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: NO SON HAS HE BEGOTTEN, NOR HAS HE A PARTNER IN HIS DOMINION; it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. (Quran 25: 2)

God has no like or equal “(The Qur'an, 42:11)

And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (Quran 4:171)

Allah HAS NOT TAKEN ANY SON, NOR HAS THERE EVEN BEEN WITH HIM ANY DEITY. [If there had been/If there were many gods], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to OVERCOME OTHERS. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]. (Quran 23:91)

Muhammad didn't speak for himself (Just like Jesus, another Messenger of God)

Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred, Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. It is not but a revelation revealed,  (Quran 53:2-4)


Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]? And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the grateful. (Quran 3:114)


And they say: "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord? Say: "The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a plain warner." Al-Ankaboot Verse No:50

Islam as final religion

Say: "We believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham Isma'il Isaac Jacob and the Tribes and in (Books) given to Moses Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord; we make no distinction between one and another among them and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."

This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favour to you and chosen for you Islam as a religion (Quran Al-Maeda(5) (3))

Disturbing image If Jesus were God of Old Testament

Some people still claim that Jesus is the God of Old Testament. Although Jesus never said so. In fact, Jesus repeatedly say that he is just a servant of God. Ironically those who say Jesus is God of Old Testament is those who say that Jesus is a prince of peace. Little do they know that by attributing the God of OT to Jesus means they also say Jesus is a slayer of babies, women, and children.

http://realbarenakedislam.blogspot.co.id/2016/09/are-you-going-to-ignore-jesuss.html

Do you seriously think Jesus was behind the slaying of babies, women and children?

"Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!"

They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses

"Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge! Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you,"

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children.

If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins. I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted.

Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants.

If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.

How blessed will be the one who repays you With the recompense with which you have repaid us. How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock.

They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.

"I also will do this unto you... You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it."

"And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." --

"And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them."

"And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend."

"Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers."

"I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another."
.
"This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him."

"The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat."

"Who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron."

"Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.






Strangely, Christianity doesn't stop short associating Jesus as the slayer of babies, women, and children, In the Bible, we found Jesus say:

Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their KING, bring them here and KILL them in my presence! Luke 19:27

Here we found in http://www.gotquestions.org/parable-ten-minas.html

- The nobleman in the parable is Jesus, who left this world but who will return as King some day.

- The servants the king charges with a task represent followers of Jesus. T

- The enemies who rejected the king in the parable are representative of the Jewish nation that rejected Christ while He walked on earth—and everyone who still denies Him today.

You could also check: the commentary of Luke 19: 27

http://biblehub.com/luke/19-14.htm

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

But those mine enemies,.... Meaning particularly the Jews, who were enemies to the person of Christ, and hated and rejected him, as the King Messiah; and rebelled against him, and would not submit to his government; and were enemies to his people, and were exceeding mad against them, and persecuted them; and to his Gospel, and the distinguishing truths of it, and to his ordinances, which they rejected against themselves: which would not that I should reign over them

So there you go, just a reminder how Christianity depicts Jesus.

Islam portrays Jesus in less complicated way.
- In Islam, Jesus is a noble prophet who submit to will of God.
- In Islam, Jesus is not responsible with the killings of babies of Amalek.
- In Islam, Jesus never ordered to kill all old and young, girls and women and little children.

Are you going to Ignore Jesus's Strongest Testimonies?

Just like a man on the court, Jesus multiple times testifies that he's just a servant of God.
In his own words, in his strongest words, in his unambigous words, Jesus testifies he's merely a servant and messenger.


# Who's the greatest, the person who sits at the table or the servant? Isn't it really the person who sits at the table? BUT I'M AMONG YOU AS A SERVANT. Luke 22:27

# Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. Mark 10:18

# "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. (John 14:28)

# My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all (John 10:29)

# My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. (John 4:34)

# The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him (John 8:29)

# So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. (John 11:41)

# Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (John 8:29)

# In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day–for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! (Luke 13:33)

In contrary, without a doubt and hesitation God in Old Testament, in the most explicit way say that He is A God


# They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 39and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them (Jeremiah 32:38)

# You shall be My people, And I will be your God.' (Jeremiah 30:22)


# I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart. (Jeremiah 24:7)


# But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (Jeremiah 31:33)

# From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God. (Ezekiel 39:22)

# Then they will know that I, the LORD their God, am with them and that they, the Israelites, are my people, declares the Sovereign LORD. (Ezekiel 34:30)


# There above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. (Genesis 28:13)


# For I the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior (Isaiah 43:3, HCSB)


# Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. (Exodus 3:6)


# I am the God of your Fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.' Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look. (Acts 7:32)

# And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. (Exodus 29:45)


So there you go, you've heard from both sides.


So if :

1. A says he's A multiple times
2.  B says he's B multiple times
3. A never says he's B
4. B never says he's A

How could you say A is B and B is A ?


Furthermore, Jesus said :

1. God is One
1. No messenger greater than the one sent him
2. No servant greater than the master
3. Jesus is a servant
4. Jesus is sent by God


Unless there's multiple layers of God, those, who believe God is three, would say Jesus is a liar.

So now,

1. Are you sure you are going to ignore Jesus own words by saying something that he is not?
2. Why would anyone believe something that Jesus didn't say?
3. Why would anyone ignore something explicit from Jesus over something ambiguous?
4. Why would anyone draw their own conclusion when Jesus explicitly say that he's just servant and not a God?

PS: Things can be even more messed up for Trinity, cause it also add Holy spirit as yet another God.

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. (Matt. 4:1)

1. What kind of act is this? A GOD LEADING ANOTHER GOD TO BE TEMPTED BY DEVIL ?
2. When Holy Spirit leading Jesus to the devil, are there two gods or one god?
3. Name one verse in the Bible that Holy Spirit say "I AM GOD"
4. Name one verse in the Bible that Holy Spirit say "WORSHIP ME"
5. Just like Jesus, since when Holy Spirit claim to be a God?

The Creations, The Signs, The Believer, and The Unbeliever

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.

And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].

And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.

These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe?

Woe to every sinful liar

Who hears the verses of Allah recited to him, then persists arrogantly as if he had not heard them. So give him tidings of a painful punishment.

And when he knows anything of Our verses, he takes them in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.

Before them is Hell, and what they had earned will not avail them at all nor what they had taken besides Allah as allies. And they will have a great punishment.

This [Qur'an] is guidance. And those who have disbelieved in the verses of their Lord will have a painful punishment of foul nature.

It is Allah who subjected to you the sea so that ships may sail upon it by His command and that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

And He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth - all from Him. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

Say, [O Muhammad], to those who have believed that they [should] forgive those who expect not the days of Allah so that He may recompense a people for what they used to earn.

Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned.

Holy Quran (45:2-15)

The Fallacy Argument of Creation, and The Sky Daddy?

When speaking about the Existence of God, Quran has an unique way to deliver it. In Quran, people are urged to observe nature, extra-terrestrial, and even themselves, to realize who created them and everything around them.




But then some some people would say: Well, if everything here on earth and extraterrestrial are made by a designer, then who created this intelligent designer?”

Well, that’s where they got it wrong, The things they want to equalize are absolutely different. Everything you see with your  “working eyes” and “working brain” is something possessing:

- physical dimension
- mass
- height
- weight

It’s also

- Measurable
- Visible
- Destructible
- submitted to law of physics

- submitted to law of decay (non eternal)

The intelligent Designer is above all - even the time itself.

The intelligent Designer who knows His creation*) even when humans didn't have the ability to do so.

*) i.e: Big bang, expanding universe, elongated round earth, unmixed salt and fresh water, embryology, water cycle, etc were exposed 1.400 years ago in Quran

Why would someone compare something possessing physical dimension, mass, height, weight, and is measurable, visible, destructible, submitted to law of physics, law of decay to something above the time itself.

"Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. "He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him."                          [Al-Qur’an 112:1-4] "No vision can grasp Him But His grasp is over All vision: He is Above all comprehension, Yet is acquainted with all things."                 [Al-Qur’an 6:103]

Seriously, are we going to compare these two?

Comparing God to His creation It's not even as close as comparing humans and the toilet tissue.

But then, people tendency comparing God to human is not entirely their fault. Christianity has made god into human like.

The Sistine Chapel even draws the Sky Daddy.



Well, not so much in Quran. There no such thing as Sky Daddy god, Father God, Son of God, Human/God vice Versa, Reincarnated God, God transforming into human and be killed by another humans, multiple Gods, and other mind-boggling God concept.

In Quran, God is one. God has no like. God has no equal.

Say He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone. (Quran chapter 112)


He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: NO SON HAS HE BEGOTTEN, NOR HAS HE A PARTNER IN HIS DOMINION; it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. (Quran 25: 2)

God has no like or equal “(The Qur'an, 42:11)


And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (Quran 4:171)

Allah HAS NOT TAKEN ANY SON, NOR HAS THERE EVEN BEEN WITH HIM ANY DEITY. [If there had been/If there were many gods], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to OVERCOME OTHERS. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]. (Quran 23:91)

The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded. (Quran 5:75)

Islam on the most profound questions

# What are the signs of God?

# Is God one or many?

# What's the purpose of life?

# If there's a God. Why must humans must feel burden?

# Should we chase all the goodness on earth?

# Should we totally abandon all the goodness on earth?

# Are all the efforts here on earth worth it?

What are the signs of God?

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are SIGNS for those of understanding - Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth (Quran)


And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge. Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. (29:43-44)


Verily in the heavens and the earth are SIGNS for the believers. And in your creation, and what He scattered of moving creatures are signs with people of sure faith,” (Quran 45:3-4)"

Is God one or many?

Say He is God the One God, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not anyone. (Quran chapter 112)


He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: NO SON HAS HE BEGOTTEN, NOR HAS HE A PARTNER IN HIS DOMINION; it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. (Quran 25: 2)


God has no like or equal “(The Qur'an, 42:11)



Why can’t be three Gods, or more?


And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs. (Quran 4:171)

Allah HAS NOT TAKEN ANY SON, NOR HAS THERE EVEN BEEN WITH HIM ANY DEITY. [If there had been/If there were many gods], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to OVERCOME OTHERS. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him]. (Quran 23:91)

What's the purpose of human life?

He has 'created the heavens and the earth in just proportions, and has given you shape, and made your shapes beautiful: and to Him is the final Goal.
[64: At-Tagabun-3]


“Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?” (Quran 23:115)

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (Quran 67:2)

To Him is your return all together. [It is] the promise of Allah [which is] truth. Indeed, He begins the [process of] creation and then repeats it that He may reward those who have believed and done righteous deeds, in justice. But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny. (Quran)

If there's a God. Why does God put difficulties to mankind?

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe," without being put to the test? (Quran 29:2)

[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (Quran 67:2)


Or you think that YOU WILL ENTER PARADISE WITHOUT SUCH (TRIALS) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty, ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who had faith with him said, 'When will the Help of Allah come?' Yes! Indeed Allah's help is close!" (Quran 2:214)


And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient. Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return."Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided. [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (Quran 67:2)


We will surely test you through some fear, hunger, and loss of money, lives, and crops. Give good news to the steadfast. (Quran 2:155)


And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient (Quran 2:155)

 Allah does not charge a self (anything) except its capacity; it has whatever it has earned, and against it is whatever it has acquired. Our Lord, do not take us to task in case we forget or we make mistakes. Our Lord, and do not burden us with an obligation as You burdened (the ones) who were before us. Our Lord, and do not over-burden us with whatever is beyond our capability. And be clement towards us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Supreme Patronizer, so give us victory over the disbelieving people. (Quran 2:286)

Should we chase all the goodness on earth?

Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you1, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw1. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment“. [57:20]


The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things)“. [102:1]


Yet still you prefer the life of the world, when the hereafter is better and longer lasting. (Surat al-A'la, 16-17)


Lo! those who expect not the meeting with Us but desire the life of the world and feel secure therein, and those who are neglectful of Our revelations,

Should we totally abandon all the goodness on earth and be a monk like?

Heck no. Islam is all about moderation.

Seek the home of the Hereafter by that which Allah has given you, but do not forget your share of the world. (Quran 28:77)

Allah intends for you ease, and does not want to make things difficult for you" (Quran 2:185)

And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path) (Quran 87:8

And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham (Quran 22:78)

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So DO NOT CLAIM YOURSELF TO BE PURE; He is most knowing of who fears Him. (Quran 53:32)

Religion is very easy, and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded. (Hadith) 

Beware of excessiveness in religion. Indeed excessiveness in religion caused those [nations] before you to perish (Hadith)

Are all the efforts here on earth worth it?


And whoever obeys God and the Messenger – those will be with the ones upon whom God has bestowed favor – of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions!” (Quran 4:69)


But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are companions of the garden. Therein shall they abide forever" (2:82).

For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath - an eternal dwelling. How excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!" (3:136).


Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous" (3:133)


Allah hath promised to Believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of Allah. That is the supreme felicity" (9:72).


And when you look there (in Paradise) you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.” (Quran 76:20)


And We shall remove from their breasts any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury (which they had, if at all, in the life of this world)…” (Quran 7:43)


No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.” (Quran 32:17)


Bricks of gold and silver, and mortar of fragrant musk, pebbles of pearl and sapphire, and soil of saffron. Whoever enters it is filled with joy and will never feel miserable; he will live there forever and never die; their clothes will never wear out and their youth will never fade.” (Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, ad-Daarimee)


There will be no hatred or resentment among them, their hearts will be as one, and they will glorify God, morning and evening.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)


Indeed may you be healthy and never be sick again, may you live and never die again, may you be young and never grow feeble again, may you enjoy, and never feel sorrow and regret again.” (Saheeh Muslim)

Atheist and Proud? Well, Islam wants you think about creation.

Cause according to proud atheist:

- Human who has capability of thinking, singing, dancing, crying, loving, hating, ploting, deceiving, acting heroic, innovating, self-healing, autopilot, reproducing is a product of accident.

- Unlike paper bag which has its creator, human has not its creator.

- Unlike paper bag which has its purpose, human has not its purpose.

- Unlike paper bag which can't evolve from dead material by itself (even it takes trillion years), human can evolve from dead material.

Really, HUMANS are that USELESS, WORTHLESS, a PRODUCT OF AN ACCIDENT?

No wonder Islam really want you think hard about creation, including human creation.


~ So let man observe from what he was created. (Quran)

~ So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed, that [same one] will give life to the dead, and He is over all things competent.


~ Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason (2:164)

~ Verily in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. And in your creation, and what He scattered of moving creatures are signs with people of sure faith,” (Quran)


More verses from Quran urging to think about God's creation. Cause there are many verses in Quran provoking human minds to realize the existence of Designer by observing God's creation.


~ And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge. Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. (29:43-44)

~ Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding - Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” (Quran)

~ Have they not seen all the things in front of them and behind them, in the heaven and the earth?... This should be a sufficient proof .. [34:9]


~ He causes to grow for you thereby the crops, olives, palm trees, grapevines, and from all the fruits. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought.

~  And He has subjected for you the night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

~ And [He has subjected] whatever He multiplied for you on the earth of varying colors. Indeed in that is a sign for a people who remember.

~ And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.

~ And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you, and [made] rivers and roads, that you may be guided, And landmarks. And by the stars they are [also] guided. (16:11-6)

~  And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe (6:99)


~ Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; then We fashioned the drop into a clot, then We fashioned the clot into a little lump, then We fashioned the little lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!” [23:12-14]


~  Have they not seen all the things in front of them and behind them, in the heaven and the earth? If we willed, we could have caused the earth to swallow them, or caused masses to fall on them from the sky. This should be a sufficient proof for every obedient servant. [34:9]


~ “It is He Who has created you from dust then from a sperm-drop, then from a leech-like clot; then does he get you out (into the light) as a child: then lets you (grow and) reach your age of full strength; then lets you become old,- though of you there are some who die before;- and lets you reach a term appointed; in order that you may learn wisdom.” [40:67]

The next question is how do you know Allah is the owner of the universe?

Well, suppose you find a wallet, yet you don't know who the owner is.
I bet you will give it to someone who can describe the wallet perfectly.

Same thing as the universe. 1.400 years ago. Though Quran, an entity described  universe, natural phenomenon when human doesn't have the ability to do so.  EG:

Big Bang

Do Not Those Who Disbelieve See That The Heavens And The Earth Were Meshed Together Then We Ripped Them Apart? And Then We Made Of Water Everything Living? Would They Still Not Believe?[Quran 21.30]

Expansion Of The Universe

And It Is We Who Have Built The Universe With [Our Creative] Power And Keep Expanding It. [Quran 51:47]

Athmosphere

We Made The Sky A Protective Ceiling. And Yet They Are Turning Away From Our Signs! [Quran 21:32]

Sun’s & Moon’s Orbit

It Is He Who Created Night And Day, The Sun And The Moon, Each Floating In Its Orbit.”[Quran 21:33]

Elipsoid Earth

He Made The Earth Egg-Shaped [Quran 79:30]

Parité

And Of Everything We Created Pairs, That Possibly You Would Be Mindful.  [Quran 51:49]

Water Barrier

He Is The One Who Has Set Free The Two Kinds Of Water, One Sweet And Palatable, And The Other Salty And Bitter.  And He Has Made Between Them A Barrier And A Forbidding Partition.  [Quran, 25:53]

Embriology

 We Created Man From An Extract Of Clay. Then We Made Him As A Drop In A Place Of Settlement, Firmly Fixed. Then We Made The Drop Into An Alaqah (Leech, Suspended Thing, And Blood Clot), Then We Made The Alaqah Into A Mudghah (Chewed Substance).  [Quran, 23:12-14]

Clouds And The Process Of Rain

Do Not You See That God Drives The Clouds, Then Joins Them Together,  Then Piles Them On Each Other, Then You See The Rain Comes Forth From  Between Them. And He Sends Down Hail From The Sky, Where There Are  Mountains Of It. And Strikes Those With It Whom He Will And Diverts It From  Whomever He Wills. The Vivid Flash Of Its Lightning Nearly Blinds The Sight.  [Quran 24:43]

The End of Universe and The Big Crunch

We created not the heavens and the earth and all between them but for just ends, and for a Term Appointed: But those who reject Faith turn away from that whereof they are warned. (Quran 46: 3)

We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends.And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest).So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness. (Quran 15: 85) 
That Day We will fold up heaven like folding up the pages of a book. As We originated the first creation so We will regenerate it. It is a promise binding on Us. That is what We will do. (Qur'an, 21:104)

Do you find such eloquent way to provoke human mind about existence of God and provide the explanation of nature (correctly) in Torah, Bible, Vedha, etc.
